"George W. Bush and Dick Cheney have always used the president's father as a reverse lodestar. In 1992, the senior Mr. Bush wooed the voters with "Message: I care.'' So this week, Mr. Cheney wooed the voters with, Message: You die. "The terrible beauty of its simplicity grows on you. It is a sign of the dark, macho, paranoid vice president's restraint that he didn't really take it to its emotionally satisfying conclusion: Message: Vote for us or we'll kill you."

Reminds me of Michael O'Donoghue's anti-corporate lines he wrote for SNL, most of which were censored:
Exxico: We're Changing The Way America Cuts Its Throat
Exxico: Selling Your Future So We Can Live Like Pigs Today
Exxico: Give Us Your Money Or We'll Destroy Your Planet
Exxico: Stay Out Of Our Way Or We'll Kill You
Exxico: We Got Karen Silkwood, And We'll Get The Son Of A Bitch Who Wrote This
Ah, Michael -- what a field day you'd have today . . .
